I won't make it either. We have a soccer game and garage sale. Our entire town has a bunch of garage sales on the same day and we are taking part this year.

So, couple things. Steering box and oil pan doing a fair bit o leaking.
Got some of the crap that needs to be on the truck to go wheeling mounted.
Tackle those two leaks tomorrow

Not my favorite set up for wheeling with the toolbox, but it has tools
as long as it's secured

It's bolted to the bed.
Also have hi lift under the box, spare next to wheelwell. All bolted down
Hell yeah! Good job!

I have reservations. Finally put a limit strap on the passenger side.
At full droop the drive shaft will bind. Only CV that will hit the angle is a super 42.
Likely transplant a high pinion in it

I thought you had a doubler in the garage? That should help with the angles

No, the guy who bought my K5 had the doublerI thought you had a doubler in the garage? That should help with the angles
Still sitting on the floor.
Collecting dust...
If I had a doubler, it would be in. If it was behind a standard anyways.

Ah... I must had misread something.
At least the strap will give you peace of mind on the trail.

Well that's the theory. I extensively priced out a new drive line last week.
Am i wrong for feeling like a really expensive drive line is just a Band Aid?
I've already acquired a HP axle. Math says it will remove 8-10° from the drive line angle, putting me at a running difference from the t case of 10°.
I can use the factory CV at that rate

Swap axles, that's a no brainier IMO.

That's where I am at. Takes a little time and effort, but it's not a Band Aid. Puts the pinion in basically the stock unlifted location.
And from a long term perspective you'll be way ahead. Spare driveshafts will be cheap in comparison to those high angle $$ shafts.

Not sure yet if I'd be able to use a stock shaft, but just modify a stock on is possible.
Plus less angle on the working drive line for less stress and wear.
That will be a fun thing to document for the build thread!
High pinion front end is way better.
I assume from a Ford. Add an oil filter relocation kit to that list

Going to relocate the pinion to the passenger side.
Thought of going full nuts, NV4500/241 & driver drop
I'm sure you'll need a little more spine...
